Summary

IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ (IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows 9.7, 10.1, 10.5, and 11.1) deserializes the contents of /tmp/connlicj.bin which leads to object injection and potentially arbitrary code execution depending on the classpath. IBM X-Force ID: 133999.

    descriptionAccording to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 on the remote Windows host is either 9.7 prior to Fix Pack 11 Special Build 37314, 10.1 prior to Fix Pack 6 Special Build 37313, 10.5 prior to Fix Pack 10 , or 11.1.3 prior to Fix Pack 3. It is, therefore, affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the DB2 JDBC driver.
